Q. How do you think one should handle situations when their decision leads to an undesirable outcome?

I got this question from the Heuton app and thought it's worth sharing. It's quite difficult to answer, though.

So the context is: To its previous question, I mentioned that I value authentic decisions in life, decisions that are made by myself and myself only, not swayed by other people's opinions. I believe having clear inner compass is crucial to everyone.

And those decisions and efforts often led to positive outcomes, such as getting the job I wanted. But then, there are times when even decisions made with the best intentions lead to unexpected outcomes. Sometimes, decisions that are made independently from other people's opinions(=decisions based on what I think is right) result in negative outcomes.

In this case, what do you think is the best way to respond? I'm having a hard time answering the question. 😂

Please share what you think.
